WHAT CAM... crewcab/6.oL/3.42's/24's/4.3L converter
i have a 2005 crewcab with a 6liter and a 4.3L stall converter in the 4l60e and the truck has 3.42 gears and 24" wheels... i am wanting a cam mainly for sound and some extra power but mostly sound.. the rest of the truck is stock FOR NOW.. i plan on doing headers back but thats it... I WANT GOOD FUEL ECONOMY this is my daily and tow rig....

Mean sounding cams and good fuel economy shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence lol. A cam sounds mean when it has a lot of overlap, which is caused by big duration combined with a tighter LSA. The cam listed above is basically what I have, except mine is on a 114. I don't have any sound clips, but I can tell you that it sounds almost stock, especially to the untrained ear. It's a great cam with great gains over stock, no need for a higher stalled converter and good fuel economy, but you can hardly tell that my truck is cammed. If you want it to sound mean, turn the idle way down lol.

That cam is pretty tiny for a 6.0...I doubt you'd have much lope at all over stock. The guys are right, if you want mean and lopey you're gunna have to sacrifice somewhere, fuel mileage being one area. Maybe try a 212/218, .558,.563 on a 112...should still be alright with that converter. Or step up to a bigger converter, say somewhere between 2800-3200 and get a tsp220r cam. G/l

I'm running the 212/218 on a 112 and I felt my gas mileage stayed the same if not went up. Sounds good at idle, and has lots of good power everywhere. I think it would be great for a tow pig.
